Everyone wants to get a good deal on a used vehicle, but is the initial purchase price all that really matters to you when making a purchase? Unlike many other consumer goods a vehicle may appear perfectly normal while having significant hidden issues that may require you to spend thousands on out of pocket repair.
Some used vehicle defects and problems may not be obvious to the naked eye, and may even go undetected when inspected by a mechanic. The fact is that without looking into the vehicles history you will never know what you are buying.
